Lightbulb LEDs for your truck

Hey guys, this should probably be in the 60 forum but since a couple people expressed intrest at the last meeting I'm putting it here.
So I re-did all of the lights with LEDs, even changed the turn signal flasher relay to one that will work for LEDs. The only thing I have not changes is the dome lights. The company I got them from is http://www.superbrightleds.com/
One thing though, if you order from them make sure they send the stuff USPS not UPS (customs brokerage fees are stupid).
For those interested here are the part numbers for everything:

Options: see note

Quantity: 1
Product: WLED 1-LED bulb $ 1.49 (each)
Options: Blue highbeam light

Notes:
The M1 markers are good but the hole spacing is just about 1/8th smaller then the stock toyota stuff, also it does not come with any rubber or gasket so you'd have to find your own.
The flasher unit has the proper pin positions for the toyota but the spacing of them is not correct, what I did was remove the old flasher relay, unsolder the old pins, installed them onto the new relay board (after removing theirs). This way it also fits into the stock relay housing and looks stock.
The dash lights were a little too big, I recommend going for the model down unless you feel like taking everything apart (like I did) to fit them in from the inside.
As a side add on I used aluminum tape (the stuff for ducting) on all of the surfaces in the turn/parking light housings and even in the dashboard. This allows for better reflection. 1 thing I learned was to plug in and test the lights in the dash before putting it all back in, to see if you like the lighting (or need reflective tape) and to see if you got the polarity right.
If you have questions, let me know.
I don't know if they have 24V stuff, but I am sure you can ask them.
